A flight in the Middle East had to make an emergency landing the other day, after the pilots were attacked in the cockpit! Who did the attacking? A cat!
No one's sure how it got on board. But according to Simple Flying, they think it might have snuck in while the plane was being cleaned and then hid in the cockpit.
The flight took off in Sudan last Wednesday and was headed to Qatar. But 30 minutes into the flight, the cat came out of nowhere and attacked the captain.
Several crew members tried to catch it but couldn't and it attacked them too. So, they eventually had to turn around and go back to the airport.
As crazy as it sounds, this isn't the first time something like this has happened.
Back in 2004, someone's cat escaped from its carrier on a flight from Belgium to Austria, got into the cockpit, attacked the co-pilot and forced that plane to land, too.
